Chapter 1336 – A Dangerous Moment
*****Still in the bedroom, the atmosphere had completely shifted now.Even the space between them felt different now… heavier and quieter, like the air itself had forgotten how to behave normally.Their breathing was no longer separate; instead, it slowly began to sync without either of them noticing, as though the world had decided to interfere simply to make things worse for their already unstable hearts.They remained frozen in that closeness for what felt like an uncomfortably long time, neither speaking nor stepping back, both caught in a silence that stretched far beyond comfort.Then…click.A faint switch sound echoed from somewhere in the mansion, and just like that, it felt as though reality itself had been abruptly restarted.Both of them flinched at the same time and took a quick step back as if they had just been released from an invisible hold.“I…”Grace’s face turned red almost instantly, her heart clearly in disarray as she glanced around the room in a comp
Chapter 1335 – An Awkward Moment
*****“Don’t!” Xavier suddenly blurted out, quickly grabbing Grace’s hands just before her knees touched the floor.She flinched immediately, clearly startled by his sudden reaction.Then she raised her head, blinking in confusion.“What?” she asked softly.Xavier opened his mouth, but then closed it again, before opening for the third time.He looked like a man standing at the edge of disaster right now, trying to choose between honesty and survival.“I…” he finally said, his voice slightly strained.His thoughts raced, knowing well that if he admitted it now, Grace might get angry for being lied to, and as such, he would permanently ruin their first night together.But he was also aware that if he didn’t, she might keep worrying and refuse to rest properly.Either way… he was cornered.Finally, with a helpless breath, he gave up and blurted the truth.“I… was only joking.”Silence.He braced himself instantly, expecting shock, realization, maybe even anger.But what c
Chapter 1334 – Grace’s Concern
*****Initially, after hearing Xavier claim he was sleepy, Grace had actually assumed he was just trying to pull the same kind of stunt she had witnessed earlier from her father and father-in-law.After all, the timing was too convenient, and those two had just successfully “escaped” their wife’s complaints using the exact same method like seasoned veterans.But then…The moment she heard Xavier calmly admit that he hadn’t slept in about thirty hours, all suspicion vanished as though it had never existed in the first place.Instantly, her mind began to replay everything that had happened recently.The four first-rank families' decision to support her, the Oriens incident, the preparation of the vehicles, and the countless unseen arrangements that followed afterward.She understood with certainty that this was neither luck nor coincidence.It was Xavier.While she and her family had been resting after everything that happened at the Sky Mansion, Xavier had apparently been runn
Chapter 1333 – “I Haven’t Slept A Wink In About Thirty Hours.”
*****Eventually, both women began to drag their half-asleep husbands upstairs.The two men looked so drowsy that one would think they could collapse midway through walking.But…Unbeknownst to their wives ahead of them, the moment they looked away briefly… David and Williams suddenly turned toward each other simultaneously.Instantly, every trace of sleepiness disappeared from their faces, then…Both secretly raised a thumbs-up toward each other, their eyes gleaming triumphantly.‘This works every time.’The coordination was so smooth and shameless that Xavier and Grace froze completely at the back.The couple stared blankly at the two older men, utterly speechless.Then…“Father!” both Xavier and Grace exclaimed helplessly the moment the four elders left the living room, the couple completely speechless at the synchronized performance they had just witnessed.Then the two turned toward each other at almost the exact same time, and… seeing the same disbelief reflected in
Chapter 1332 – “Your Eyes Were Snoring”
*****Meanwhile, Laura immediately clicked her tongue dramatically.“Your husband still tries,” she argued, rolling her eyes at her husband. “Mine doesn’t even survive up to ten minutes.”David instantly protested. “That’s not true.”“In fact, five minutes,” Laura corrected firmly.“Exaggeration,” David responded bitterly.“Four minutes if there’s emotional background music.”Grace completely lost it and turned away laughing.David stared at his wife like someone whose entire reputation had just been destroyed publicly.“That’s slander,” he muttered weakly.Laura scoffed loudly.“One time, the opening soundtrack had not even ended before this man started tilting sideways.”Susan immediately pointed excitedly.“Yes! Mine too!”The two women instantly entered full discussion mode like investigators finally finding someone who understood their suffering.At first, David and Williams still exchanged mocking glances, each silently celebrating the other’s downfall.But…As
Chapter 1331 – The Hilarious Moment
*****At this moment, Susan stood there staring directly at her husband with a knowing gaze… a gaze that practically screamed;“So you actually can stay awake up to this late?!”Williams instantly smiled awkwardly… the kind husbands develop after years of surviving dangerous conversations.“I…”He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, suddenly having absolutely no idea what to say.Seated beside him, David watched the entire thing unfold and nearly failed to suppress the grin tugging at his lips.‘Didn’t your team just beat mine?’ he thought smugly, his amusement intensifying instantly.A moment ago, Williams had been sitting there puffed up like a victorious coach after the Away team won.But now, the man looked like a criminal awaiting sentencing.David openly enjoyed it. In fact, he enjoyed it far too much.The schadenfreude shining in his eyes was so obvious that Williams immediately noticed and rolled his eyes furiously.‘Heartless traitor,’ his expression practic
